Introducing 802.16m
Filed in archive WiMax/WiBro by jeff goldman on February 21, 2007

Engadget's Darren Murph today picks up on a Dailywireless.org report noting that the IEEE "has begun working on a new version of the 802.16 [wimax
] standard, dubbed 802.16m."
The aim of the new version, Murph says, will be to push data speeds up to 1 Gbps -- and that's not all. "Potentially more interesting than cheering for speed boosts is the group's outright assurance that this protocol will meet the ITU's requirements for 4G, insinuating that it should be the token choice for further 4G developments," he writes.
No rush, though: the aim is to have the standard ready by "the end of 2009."
